VTP is the greater evil, no question in my eyes. We roll out configurations with a bash-script using SNMP og netConfigSet, and pushing it to many switches is no problem this way. We have scripts comparing running configurations with exptected parameters for various things, so we know where we have mis-configurations. (Getting around to fixing it is another matter.) So if the network is large enough for chores like this to be tedious you probably have/want a general configuration tool anyway.
